Maybe 3 categories?

1. Salary (straightforward, on regular schedule, and you'll get it)

2. Bonuses and RSUs (various vesting rules, and ways you can never see it)

3. Startup stock and (worse) stock options (probably worthless, vesting rules, and you might need an advisor to make sure you don't exercise and come out with a big negative)
